Skye Shin has always been a bigger girl but that hasn’t stopped her from doing what she loves. She is tired of hearing that she can't follow her dreams because of her weight. She excels at both singing and dance, even if her mother thinks and says she weighs too much to be a dancer. Determined to prove the world and her mother wrong, Skye decides to audition for You’re My Shining Star, a Korean reality show to find the next hit K-pop group. She has the chance to become the inspiration she always wanted to see in the media. When Skye nails the audition, she’s whisked into a world where her every move is televised and spread on social media. Skye’s also gaining the attention of fellow contestant and model Henry Cho. But can she handle the pressure? Skye Shin is ready to show the world what she’s made of! Skye takes us on a journey of friendship, family dynamics, and body positivity in this heartwarming story.
